Yeah they seem to be having issues with the chinese made 6 speed MT-82. I did a lot off research for my brother. It seems hit or miss on weather you get a decent one. It shows up any where from 200miles to 7000miles. Shifts start to feel crunchy and then it just wont go into gear at all. They have fixed an issue with faulty pressure plate bolts, redesigned the clutch and clutch pedal assembly and changed the spec fluid and the problem still remains. One poor guy has had his clutch, and clutch assembly changed 3 times and the tranny 2 times and they still couldn't fix it. He has had to lemon law it. My brother saw all this and was hesitant to buy one. I told him about how the government was starting to investigate and they would make Ford fix it if it was a real problem. I said just order it. It has a warranty. They'll fix it in 3 years.
